We had a great time in the charming house of Karina. The surrounding is authentic and quiet, yet close to a lot of interesting places worth visiting. The room was spacious and beautifuly decorated and we had a private bathroom to our disposal. Karina and her husband are both of them very kind and generous hosts. They spoiled us with a copious breakfast, and gave us plenty of information about the region. Highly recommendable!!

We Highly recommend Karina Knight's Airbnb. We were warmly received after a long day of travel. The setting is wonderful, the room and amenities were superb. Karina and Philip couldn't have been more gracious. Breakfast was delicious and comprised of local fare. We enjoyed our conversations and appreciated seeing Karina's paintings. Their recommendations for regional exploration and area gastronomy was spot on. They were known and well respected in the area. Don't hesitate to reserve your room, it's wonderful.

We had a really lovely time. Karina made us feel really at home, a lot of space we could use like our own, everything we needed for our (URL HIDDEN) about what to see in the area was really helpful, so only good things!

Karina lives in a beautiful home in a lovely setting and she is a generous host and very helpful to give information about Cahores and the region she lives in; Thank you for a great stay; I recommend it to anyone, especially if you have a car to get around to all the interesting places in the area.

When it comes to airbnb there is the average, the good, the very good and the exceptional. Karina's place is in that latest category. First the Lot region is so spectacular, rich and interesting. The house is located close to major sites, but in a secluded and peaceful area. It is a very old home, decorated with great taste by Karina and her husband. The cats stretch on the sunny patio or in the garden, the friendly dog will take you for a walk, if you are so inclined. Karina combines the reserve of an English woman with the warmth of the locals. She greets you as if you were family, she is attentive to little details, but will not invade your private space. The general feel is that you are a special guest. Don't miss the generous breakfast on the terrace facing the old castle in the morning!

Crayssac is a hunter's village, spread out in a valley with a small centre.
The house is located on one of the slopes and has sun till late in the evening as well as a view over the valley. Just 100m behind the house is the ridge of another valley which is all wild countryside without construction. It's really inviting for long walks which lead to the navigable river Lot. Various cruises are offered as well as rental boats for the day.
Please note - as the Lot region is a very rural area - there may be sounds from various animals during the day and the night. It is also important to know that there is hardly any public lighting unless on main streets. Therefore a torch is available in your room and it is highly recommended to take it with you anytime you leave as it's REALLY black during the night! However, the darkness provides provides a perfect opportunity to watch stars and the milky way with a glass of Malbec on your terrace. ;)
In Cahors and various villages you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants historic places and caves to visit. A more detailed list of information is placed in your room.

As soon as I walked in the living room I realized that house was special! Placed in a historical village, Karina's house made my stay truly unforgettable: lovely and cozy rooms, rich breakfast and a sunset-facing balcony with a view overlooking the garden and a close by castle. Anglars-Juillac is surrounded by vineyards and worth visiting places, such as Puy-L'Evêque, are just a nice bike ride away. Not to mention Karina kindness and cordiality, which make of her the perfect host, very attentive and caring.

The chambre d'hotes is located 20 minutes drive from the medieval town of Cahors and 5 minutes from the nearest vineyards. Cahors Saturday morning market is one of the best in the region.

It makes an ideal base for exploring the historic delights of the Dordogne and the Lot. A lake and sports centre with restaurant near the house makes a change from relaxing by the pool. Rocamadour, Sarlat and St Cirq Lapopie are all worth a vist. 5 minutes walk from the house is a small village where a lively community run cafe is open twice a month.

The house is 5 minutes from a circular walking route. There are many such routes in the local villages.

A gem of a find! Beautiful home and a wonderfully warm and welcoming family. We only wish we could have spent longer soaking up the atmosphere. Highlights were the comfy bed, beautiful ensuite and the handful of freshly picked plums that Tanya and Eamon's daughter gifted us on departure! As a bonus I also bought Eamon's book, which I'm currently racing through, and is all about their relocation to stunning Laborie. We'd love to return!

Tanya was very helpful and friendly. Gorgeous location, we especially enjoyed the pool, and delicious breakfasts. Everything perfect. Thoroughly recommended.

DavidOctober 2015

We were made to feel very welcome, Tanya put on quite the spread, and pulled it off.

Perfect stop for our family! Thanks to the friendly host, we felt at home at once. Our son felt in love with a cat, called black panther. An indication how at ease our kids were during our short trip. We got a short tour of the gites as well, we loved it!

ChristofAugust 2015

This is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in France. Congratulations to Tanya and Eamon on their beautiful house and amazing life project! We were only there for one night and felt very welcome, slept really well (the beds are VERY comfortable). My youngest daughter who is 11 has already started reading Eamon's book and can't put it down! I now have to wait my turn to read it. Thanks again for your warm welcome and hopefully see you again as we would like to come back and see more is the area.
